1 month agoIt’s taken me a day to write this. Somehow, not saying it out loud, not writing the words, made it less real and I was not ready to wrap my head around it yet. Curt Westley, we were not ready for you to leave us. While Allison is the heart and soul of Talaria, you will always be it’s captain. The two of you took me in 11 years ago, even though I came from the Walking Horse world. You said, “It’s okay because you will learn and you are right for Talaria.” You believed I’d not let you down. Three years ago the two of you allowed me to go back to my ailing father and continue to work from another state because you knew how badly I wanted to spend whatever time I had left with him. Again you believed in me saying, “If anyone can make this work, you can.” When I left I never imagined it would be you that I’d never see again. You were the first to come down on me like a ton of bricks if I screwed up. You fought the hardest and gave me the fiercest support if you believed I was right. Your eye for breeding Arabian horses unmatched because you never followed trends or stopped short of your vision. The size of your heart for Allison, the horses, your family and friends matched the size of your “bigger than life” personality. I’m so grateful to have been a part of it. Shattered right now. But, I know you’d tell me to knock it off and get back to work. There are things to do. And again I promise I won’t let you down. So, give Lady Hawk and Heumoresque a carrot from me and I will get my butt back to work. See you on the other side. ~ Dana

5 months agoWe received some fun news, Botswana is the all time #1 Leading Sire of EBC Champions of the US Egyptian Event. He shares the title of #1 Leading Straight Egyptian Sire this year with his father, Thee Desperado. His offspring set the bar for "Talaria Type", with their big expressive eyes, wonderful conformation, and outstanding temperaments. His daughters have grown up to be top producers around the world. We simply could not ask for more than what Botswana gives to us As always, it is an honor and a privilege to walk beside his hoof prints. ~Photo by Suzanne Sturgill ~Halter by Arabian Fancy

6 months agoThank you, Glenn Stevenson and Jessica Korn for passing on these beautiful family photos with Ibn Al Khalif (Botswana x Aryel), bred by Glenn of GS Arabians. We love to see these wonderful geldings and their amazing owners. True ambassadors and the very best part of breeding. Botswana is known for passing on his amazing temperament and tractability to his offspring and they make great saddle horses, whether performance or pleasure. Khalif just placed 3rd in a class of 26 horses the first day he was ever ridden in curb bit. That's something to brag about. Well done! If you are looking for a seasoned performance horse, good prospect, or affordable family gelding, we would be happy to help you find your dream horse.

9 months agoWe alway knew Knight Hawke belonged in the spotlight. So when he captured the heart and attention of the talented Sylvia Zerbini, we knew it was a perfect match. Here he is on his latest adventure, on the set of Cavalia's Odysseo with Sylvia. What a fantastic story to watch unfold over the years. We are so happy that so many get to enjoy his beauty and free spirit as he performs with her troop of Grande Liberte horses!

9 months agoA lovely email came to us from the owners of Mozambique V (Botswana x Misty Morn V). We love getting updates on offspring from our stallions. Particularly this colt, bred by Sheila Varian. To see the product of her planning come to life and start his career. And he has made us proud. Good Morning Angela & Allison, Dayton & I wanted to give you both a quick up date of our young man's progress. As of yesterday June 13th we have owned Mozes for 5 months. We have logged over 100 hours of "riding time" with AHA"s "Frequent Rider Program". We have just come back from a very deep Region 5 Sport Horse Off site Championship show w/ 160+ horses attending. As proud parents, we have to brag!! :-) Mozes is now a 2 time Regional Champion, 1 Reserve Champion & 1 Top Five. The Championships were earned in English Dressage & Western Dressage. The Reserve was earned in Sport Horse Under Saddle Jr horse & the Top Five SH in Hand. Also big news.....he was First in Halter in the pre show out of 18 & 4th out of 18 other geldings!! First in Junior Horse under saddle as well. Plus he was named "Reserve High Point Gelding" in Hand for the pre show! After 2 Regional shows he has earned 57 of the 75 points needed to have his first +. This coming Tue we leave for our favorite show of the year Region 6 in Douglas Wy. Due to the lengthy drive we will take 4 days to drive, and be there 4 days before the show for him to adjust to the new surroundings. There he will compete in both main ring (halter & hunter pleasure jr horse) and sport horse (in hand, under saddle, and both western & English dressage) I feel confident he will have ++ by the end of the show. Will keep you posted to the results after the 4th of July. Below for your viewing pleasure..our young man...Mozes. There is also a link for you to click on to see him at the show. He is number 190. cheers for now, Debbie & Dayton Canaday
